One time many years ago i had a problem with something, maybe google music, and they actually had a phone number to call, and a human man answered! It was really quite surreal

To be fair to Google, they ignore everyone. All submissions are machine read and handled. The chance that a human is reading anything is exceedingly small. If you find an email address of an employee online, I'm sure it's not their primary account and/or all non address book senders' emails go directly to spam.

I'm sure the investigation of the infection here is good. The befuddlement over Google's replies and non-replies is what I'm commenting on. In my experience, that's unfortunately just Google doing Google things. They are no longer prohibited from being evil.

I'm not op

Android constantly gets apps stuck at 100% cpu for various reasons, and the battery info stuff is so useless, you'd never find it without htop in termux with root.
I'm quite sure if you just got android to show actual process cpu use, you could easily clear the cache, reinstall, or remove whatever app is causing it in basically every case, within a few minutes.

To be fair debugging standby is a bit different since you can't sit and watch htop as easily, but I've found offending apps will drain screen on or not, so can be identified with screen on.

I had something similar happen when updating to One UI 6. Idle time on battery dropped from 2 weeks to 3 days.
The solution was to wipe system cache from recovery menu (God bless that random indian guy on YT).

I feel like the battery is still drained a bit faster than it did before, but at least idle time battery drain went back to previous state.

Lineage OS just updated the OnePlus 8t version to 17 as well.

I'm seriously considering this too be my last "smart" phone.

The base was already colorOS but there were slight differences and they didn't write colorOS. But now, the whole software is done by oppo devs without changes from oneplus and they write ColorOS.

Wow memory unlocked. Back in the day I read about this and as experiment/prank I added to a coworker outgoing signature the phrase " I need forks" in white text, smallest font.

Weeks later he complained that every page he went there would be ads for cutlery. His spam folder was full of cutlery promos. His Amazon page started with all sors of forks. I was amazed at all the sort of places he would get ads like that. Yes he was sending the message but how many advertisers knew of his "need" and how fast it spread.

Man I don’t like google anymore. I’m gonna use Edge from now on!

I wouldn't do this, but a company won't provide a service for free and I think it's a reasonable trade-off. It's not enabled by default, and if you do want to use their (free) AI features on your data, they get to use that data to target ads.

They disabled context ads in Gmail years ago after backlash than e-mail senders never agreed to any data processing clauses.

The AI craze is now the perfect reason to enable that shit again.

I somehow missed the announcement that Oneplus is closing down altogether. I'm on my third phone from them, I was already thinking about going to Nothing or Motorola next but it still feels weird to no not have 1+ as an option any more. I think Oppo should have just made global versions at a certain point, the 1+ eventually felt like Oppo global anyway.

There's multiple installation methods for magisk, the one that works with an SD card is the custom recovery method. You have to download the magisk app apk, rename it to a .zip, put it on your SD card, then go to LineageOS recovery, install update, chose from [SD card name], and then install the magisk update.

Wait didn't they transfer to ColorOS like 6 years ago?

they werent already doing that ???

Disturbing AF 💀.

Can you explain how? Because I needed to use adb again today to reflash the boot image for magisk

Not if you have an SD card.

Since OnePlus leaves the EU and U.S. markets, the situation may be even worse in the future.

Til.

No; rnnoise is an old-school ML utility for filtering the noise out of a realtime stream while keeping voices intact.

It’s basically a cleanup pass that stacks on top of the microphone.

From what it seems like they're moving it from the bottom of the screen to the top of the screen. It shouldn't cause a massive issue since nobody searches for you to videos outside of the home area anyway.

With the official YouTube app, you can't actually browse for videos(not shorts) outside of the subscription tab or the home tab. So, this is just unifying it into the same area.

Sucks for muscle memory, but I do understand why they would make that change.

Wouldn't the quality of the recording depend entirely on the quality of the microphone itself. So using different software will only give limited improvements?

Too bad there is only one newish tablet supported. Typing this on a GOS Pixel tablet.

This will upset a lot of creators. I know they can't just up and leave but I do wish more video creators just uploaded their content to other platforms (peertube would be nice!) the same way musicians upload to every streaming service. At least offer viewers a choice!
